The Xbox One X, Microsoft’s enhanced Xbox One console, will outsell Sony’s PS4 Pro according to gaming and tech analyst Michael Pachter.

The Wedbush Securities analyst believes that Microsoft’s mid-cycle console refreshment will sell around 2 million units. Taking to Twitter he added that the console will outsell the PlayStation 4 Pro. “The Pro, yes, the PS4, no”, Pachter said on Twitter.

Exact sales figures for the PS4 Pro haven’t been released by Sony, but the company did state that nearly 20% of PS4 sales are Pro’s. “It is way ahead of our expectations,”

The new FIFA 18 is set to be released on Friday, September 29, 2017. However, for those who would like a taster before the game’s full release, look no further for the details of the FIFA 18 demo. EA Sports will be pushing out a demo two weeks before the official release date on Friday, September 15.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds eventual Xbox port will have “little to no aim assist”, according to a post made on Windows Central by Matt Brown. “For the most part” Brown says, “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on Xbox One retains many of the core values seen in the PC version through its control scheme”. The control scheme is being streamlined to work on a controller, but that does not mean including aim assist.

Microsoft has been promising mouse and keyboard support on the Xbox One for ages, but it's finally getting close. As part of a PAX West panel, the company's Mike Ybarra revealed that the first Xbox One games to support these peripherals are coming "soon," and that the company already has an idea as to how it'll handle support. A lot of it will be "up to developer choice," Ybarra says, but Microsoft will "coach" studios to make sure they add the feature responsibly -- it's aware that there are potential balance problems.

As we head into the weekend, we thought it might be a good idea to highlight some of the new releases this week. A total of 18 new games arrive on the box this week, with a number of them already available at retail and in the Xbox Store.

This morning, a strategic marketing and retail partnership was announced between Samsung’s excellent line of 4K QLED TVs and Microsoft’s rapidly approaching Xbox One X. According to the official press release, gamers should be able to visit various stores leading up to the mega-console’s imminent November 7, 2017 release and see the powerful new hardware running on numerous high-end displays. Given that 4K gaming is rather difficult to properly convey online and in print (yes, some of us still read magazines, you heathens), these demo kiosks should provide curious fans quite possibly the best representation of this technology in action.

The arrival of true 4K UHD gameplay on Xbox One X this Fall gives gamers the perfect reason to upgrade their television,” said Eddie Combs, Vice President of Marketing for Samsung Electronics America. “If gamers are looking for a TV that delivers premium 4K HDR picture quality with industry leading design and smart functionality, then the QLED TV and Xbox One X are an unbeatable 4K gaming combination.”
